This is the most successful podcast I've ever made!

In questo primo episodio vi leggo una delle mie poesie preferite, intitolata "Ho sceso, dandoti il braccio, almeno un milione di scale". L'autore della poesia è Eugenio Montale (1896-1981).
L'argomento trattato in questa poesia è l'amore provato da Montale per sua moglie, scomparsa da poco. L'amore si mischia al dolore e al malinconico ricordo di quella che è stata la loro vita quotidiana.

Café con acento - Entrevista a Julius 2 (Finlandia) 

Un cœur dans la glace
Gaspard, le souriceau, garde au fond de son cœur un petit secret: Susie, une petite souris coquine, lui a fait tourner la tête.
Mais Gaspard est quelque peu timide et lorsqu'il aperçoit la belle Susie, ses jambes se mettent à trembler et, bouche bée, il la regarde passer.
Comment lui déclarer sa flamme? Gaspard a une fabuleuse idée: il s'élance sur la mare gelée et dessine sur la glace un grand cœur pour sa bien-aimée. Celle-ci, clignant des yeux, lui offre alors un tendre baiser!

In this episode, we explore the difference between knowledge and wisdom, moving from information to deeper understanding. Starting from personal reflections and the concept of the “second brain,” we ask what it really means to be wise, and why connections between ideas may matter more than facts themselves.

op universities in California like Stanford and the University of Southern California will no longer be able to favor the relatives of alumni and school donors during the application process.

That's after state governor Gavin Newsom signed a law banning all private nonprofit colleges from giving preference to so-called "legacy" applicants and those with links to donors.

Newsom said the law already applied to public universities in the state. The law will now apply to all universities from September 2025.

The governor said: "In California, everyone should be able to get ahead through merit, skill, and hard work. The California Dream shouldn't be accessible to just a lucky few, which is why we're opening the door to higher education wide enough for everyone, fairly."

California is the second US state to ban both public and private universities from favoring legacy applicants. Maryland was the first, earlier this year, although the state's top school — Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore — had already ended the practice independently.

Virginia, Illinois and Colorado have banned public universities from giving preferential treatment to those with links to former students or donors.

Admissions to US universities are very competitive. And legacy admissions policies give an advantage to applicants whose — often wealthy, often white — family members previously attended the university, or who have donated money to the school.

A 2022 study looked at one unnamed US university and found that, over a 16-year period, 34% of legacy applicants were accepted — compared to just 14% of non-legacy applicants.

A group representing private colleges in California said it was "uncomfortable" with the state getting involved in the universities' admissions processes, but said the institutions would follow the new law.

こんばんは！Atsushiです。
今日は、つぶあん、こしあんについて、話します。

皆さんはあんこを食べたことがありますか？
もしかしたら食べたことがない人の方が多いかもしれないですね。

あんことは、食材を煮詰めて練ったペースト状のものです。
一般的にはあずきが多いですが、他のものもペースト状にするものもあります。たとえは、枝豆をあんにして、もちを包んだ、ずんだ餅というものがあります。これは宮城県の有名な食べ物です。

あずきのあんこには、2種類あります。
それが、つぶあん、こしあんです。
「つぶあん」はあずきの粒をつぶさないように炊きあげたもの。
「こしあん」はあずきなどを煮てつぶし、布などで濾（こ）して皮を除いて炊きあげたもの。

これを聞いて皆さんはどちらが食べたいと思いますか？
もしくはどちらが好きですか？

僕はつぶあんの方が好きですね。
つぶあんの方が別の食感が残っているので、それも楽しみながら食べることができます。
こしあんが好きな人はそのペースト状のなめらかな舌触りが好きな人だと思います。


あんこが食べられるものとして、人気なのは、
たい焼き
大福
おはぎ
などがあります。

僕はおはぎが好きです。
どれもおいしいですね。

たい焼きや、大福、おはぎなどは、とても安く食べれます。
観光地などによく売ってると思いますので、日本に来られた時はぜひ食べてみてください。

ということで今日はこしあんつぶあんどっちが好き？について話しました。

最後まで聞いていただきありがとうございます！
ではまた！
